Library instruction centers. 

Description.  Located in room 423 of the LeRoy V. Good Library and room 4-069 of the Damon City Campus (DCC) Library, the Library Instruction Centers serve as modern teaching facilities for course-related library instruction and workshops.  With 18 computers at LeRoy V. Good Library and 11 computers at the DCC Library, the Centers allow for hands-on instruction in library research methods and other components of information literacy.

Policy.  Please keep in mind that:

  • The Library Instruction Centers are designed to support library instruction only.
  • Professors are required to attend library instruction sessions with their students. Library instruction is most useful and best received by students when it has the benefit of professor/librarian collaboration.
  • With the exception of general library orientations, professors should have already assigned a research assignment prior to a library instruction session.
  • Library instruction sessions should be scheduled at minimum two weeks in advance.

Procedure.  Librarians can adapt their instruction to fit the needs of a particular assignment and/or student group. To schedule a session at either library instruction center, contact the following individuals:

  • For LeRoy V. Good Instruction Sessions (Brighton):

    Reference/Instruction Librarian, Alice Harrington (x2304 or aharrington@monroecc.edu) or schedule a session online.

  • For DCC Instruction Sessions (Damon):

    DCC Librarian, Mary Timmons (x1412 or dcclibrary@monroecc.edu)or schedule a session online.

Please provide contact information, the particulars of your assignment, day and time of instruction, name of the class and the number of students involved. Thank you for your cooperation.


ACCESS cards.

Many local college and business libraries are available for MCC faculty and administrative personnel to use. The Rochester Regional Library Council has coordinated efforts to facilitate access to regional libraries. A library ACCESS CARD is available to faculty wishing to use college and research libraries in person when working on special projects when the resources of the MCC libraries have been exhausted. Individuals requiring specific titles or those engaged in short-term projects should utilize Interlibrary Loan.

ACCESS cards are NOT available to MCC students.

Application forms, rules governing use of the cards and a list of participating libraries is available at the Information Desk. To obtain more information about the Access Card Program, or to request a card, call Ann Penwarden, 292-2322.
